Hello, I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what the function of "Bungee Assy Leg Retract PN 560213 501" is on the LDG gear?. Is it only a spring to help extension and retraction or is it also for dampening the motion? I could not find anything in the service manual or parts catalog. Driver

MSers: I inadvertently deleted the earlier thread. ALL the previous information was fantastic! I'll try to pickup where we left off … with what I thought I was going to delete (not the thread Between the B and C, rudder travel was changed from 18 +/-1 to 23 +1/-0 because the amount of (cross control) rudder travel required for crosswind landings was considered to be not enough. Aileron travel was not changed. This larger rudder travel still exists on new airplanes (so all the later short, mid and long bodies). The irony in this is that a rudder-aileron interconnect was added mid C (not at the beginning of the C models). It was stated that the interconnect was added for better lateral-directional stability. Although this would be true, it also stated that it was only effective for the higher rudder deflections. Using experience, it is possible that the rudder forces are light (and lighter more as travel is increased) and the rudder could hang when out that far (and cross controlled). Just a thought, but the interconnect would bring it back. In addition, the interconnect increases the forces required for crosswind landings. Let's get this party started … again. -Ron
